Photographer Michael Klinkhamer’s latest exhibition, “pure thomacheat,” is a reminder of the fragile natural world that is often overlooked by the inhabitants of cities such as phnom penh. “in the cities with people rushing to get more money and more business, the power of nature the power of flowers…subsequently they’re suffering from our environmental impact and it’s very delicate, the secret life of plants,” he said, speaking at his exhibition this week.

Dutch photographer Michael Klinkhamer was exhibiting his photo series “Can’t Go Wrong Here” at the famous Cambodian FCC-restaurant in Phnom Penh, from 29-February until 29 April 2014.

A lot of photojounalists are genuinely interested in their fellow humans and hope to open people’s eyes through their work. But there are also photographers who just do their job and have no compassion with the people they portray. Michael Klinkhamer talked to Nhem Enh, a former photographer for the Khmer Rouge. It was his job to portray the prisoners in the infamous S-21 prison in Cambodia. These pictures were never intended to be published and had no journalistic purpose but turned out to form a impressive document of ‘la sale guerre’ (dirty war) and are now on permanent display at the S-21 genocide museum in Phnom Penh.

In this digital age, most of my pictures appear in magazines, on the internet via I-pads or on social media.
“I believe it is time for a couple of my images to be freed from their digital containment in order to open up fully and scream their message of beauty and horror on a larger scale on XL print”. “Working in Cambodia and around the Capital city Phnom Penh was very rewarding exciting and often spicy. It’s a full-on life’s combustion of experiences and random emotions.

Any visitor to Cambodia will remember the people long after they returned home. Blessed with warmth and a curious mind, their faces radiate a deeper sense of strength, spiritual lightness and determination to give everything in this life.

Photographer Michael Klinkhamer captured these Cambodian Faces in a black and white photographic journey, mostly around the capital city of Phnom Penh for over a year, between 2011-2013. Including the national mourning period after their king Norodom Sihanouk passed away in October 2012.

The historic pictures on permanent display at the former prison S-21 in Phnom Penh are a small but very powerful testimonial of the horror inflicted on humans by the Khmer Rouge. Today the S-21 prison in Phnom Penh is a holocaust museum. It draws millions of tourist a year into its sinister walls. Inside S-21, 15.000 people where imprisoned and tortured for a confession and killed at a nearby Killing Field.

Tim Page is a an English born, war photographer(68)whose pictures became best known during the Vietnam war. During the 1960s Page operated as a freelancer for UPI and Associated Press. His images where published around the world, including in Time and Paris Match magazines, and helped shape people’s perceptions on the conflict in South-East Asia. The drug-addled-brave war photographer played by actor Dennis Hopper in the movie Apocalypse Now (1979) was largely based on Page.

Chum Mey personifies the tormented history of his country, surviving the brutal Khmer Rouge regime. At the age of 47 he was dragged blindfolded into the Tuol Sleng prison, secret code name:S-21, where he was beaten and underwent electrocution for 12 days. At this Tuol Sleng Prison, 12.000 people, man, woman and children were chained and tortured for day’s, weeks, sometimes months in order to tell anything their tortures wanted to hear.

Landmines and other explosive remnants of wars still remain within Cambodia as a lethal legacy of many decades of wars and civil conflicts, which continued in some parts of the country until as late as 1998. As a result, Cambodia became one of the most heavily landmine contaminated countries in the world.

Night photo tours from 5 pm until 8 pm or later times are available on request.
